His hand moves up to my side and I let out a low, quiet laugh as I shake my head. "I'm not scared of loving you, that isn't it," I promise him because I at least need to make that much clear. It's not that I'm afraid he'll intentionally hurt me anything like that; I trust Jack more than anyone, if I'm honest. I'd trust him with my life.

"It's more... well, this place doesn't work the way we're used to," I finally manage, lifting my head to look him in the eyes again. "There's no tellin' what's gonna happen, you know? I could wake up tomorrow and you might've disappeared. Or I could disappear. Or one of us could get kidnapped by fairies or abducted by aliens. There's no telling. And you're just... I'd sorta like to keep you forever. Or, well. As long as I can anyhow," I quickly add because words like forever feel sorta heavy. We've only been officially dating for a few months, after all.
